The Bass(ics): What's that sound coming from a bungalow in Seattle’s Central District? It could be a saxophone, a ukulele, or even a banjo. Meter Music School teaches “almost any instrument,” says owner Brendan Bosworth. Fast becoming a hub of the local community, there's something for everyone at Meter. Classes begin with MiniMeter (ages 0-4), then private lessons (5 & up). Kids 7 & up have the opportunity to take group lessons too. And Meter has a fantastic assortment of summer camps so there's plenty of time for jamming with other kids---performances are held at the nearby Central Cinema. There are also FREE community "Easy Jam" classes (beginners welcome). Psst... Kids can share lessons if you have a friend or family member who would like to split tuition and join you.
The Beat: Cello, clarinet, double bass, drums, electric bass, flute, guitar, piano, saxophone, trombone, trumpet, ukulele, viola, violin, voice (and almost any other instrument) are offered.
Band Camp: Keyboard Camp is offered for kids ages 6-13 along with Drum Camp (ages 6-14), Vocal Camp (ages 6-13), and Ukulele & Guitar Camp (ages 5-14).
